Best ways to make extra money when you work full time

    Hi all,

    I have been lucky enough in the past that I have a few Amazon affiliate sites that bring in $500 or so dollars every month to me, so I do make a little extra cash on the side from internet marketing. The trouble is now I don't have time to write useful review posts, build massive sites, etc. I realize I can outsource as well, but i'd like to pay off some of our other bills and stuff first and foremost.

    I know that there are many "how do I make money" threads on here, but I haven't found one that is specifically for full time workers.

    I realize that this may be a long shot, I am certainly not looking for a "get rich with no work" type thing, but wouldn't mind hearing ideas of what other people have worked in the past to pad the bottom line so to speak. Anyway if you wouldn't mind helping it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Looks like you have experience in setting sites up and writing etc. You could offer this as a service but sounds like you are puched for time also as you work a full week already.
    I would look into setting up a blog around your niche. could be internet marketing, writing etc. add a few affiliate links to it and send traffic. you could manage your time easily to concentrate on this and work maybe a few hours a week or an hour a day.
    I have witnessed some terrible looking sites over the years and some made stupid amounts of money, just by sending large amounts of traffic to it.

    Hope this helps.Ill be keeping an eye on this one to see what kinda ideas are putting out there.

    Good luck!!

    daica85,
    Hi - well you are already off to a good start with your $500 a month, well done. But, as you say running a full time job as well is a big distraction from your long term goals. The real advantage of having a full time job is that you can trade the time you don't have for money - to pay other people to do what you don't have the time (or inclination) to do. I would suggest you revisit your business plan and goals, re-establish your vision and focus and start working your plan. Look at what skills you have and time you have to commit to your business and whatever tasks are left - look at outsourcing that part of the work. You could use the $500 a month as your outsourcing budget and start investing in your business.

    You will be needing an outsource to perform those task effectively and then you can have accepting other project i which you can provide or offer your expertise in the field.

    I agree with you, outsourcing is a quite good idea if you work full time.

    Hi Victor,
    Yes for sure, I can offer some advice, let me know a bit about what it is you are looking to do, are you planning to run your online business completely 'free' or do you have a monthly budget to invest in to your business? The more you can tell me the better I can provide the advice, if you don't want to share too much on the public forum you have other options available to you. My first piece of advice is - do you know your WHY?
    Happy to help.

    I hope to start advertising my rebrandable software soon (as soon as I get established) this will let people sell my software as their own, I will also now be making available a rebranding tool with premium software so that you can rebrand for others. you get to keep all of the money and you work as much as you want.

    Hi Victor,
    There are many freelance sites that you can advertise your services on, fiverr, upwork (used to be elance & odesk), freelancer, craigslist (yes - craigslist), getafreelancer, guru, freelancers, ifreelance.. and on and on. I'd suggest you do some research of these sites see which you feel is best suited to your offering, use some former customers to provide testimonials, then post some ads, also respond to ads that fir your skills.

    That's one thing I've wanted to do, was Amazon, but never really figured it out. I have an idea of how I want to, but can't grasp the idea of making it successful with the ways I want do things.

    One thing you might want to do, is just search for things such as setting up sites (not making them), but installing and things of that sort.

    Truth to be told, if you ever decided to use any of the sites beside Fiverr or Upwork, you would realize that they are pure crap. Finding clients on craigslist is more than a waste of time. Response rate has never been lower on that website and most people are only looking for your email id or to get a chance to sell you some of their stuff. Full waste of time.

    Other than Upwork and Fiverr which are legitimate freelancing websites, all of the others you have listed do not deserve anyone's attention.
    There are plenty of reasons behind my statement and plenty of true and honest reviews all around the Internet about these sites. They often scam people off (especially Freelancer), the number of higher-paying customers is incredibly low and your chances of landing a true and honest gig is close to zero.

    Please, if you do not have any experience with using such sites, do not recommend it to others. You are misleading them into wasting their time.

    OP, my two cents. You have couple of Amazon affiliate sites that bring you $500 a month. Elaborate on that and make that a foundation of your internet business. I have been on this forum for no more than couple of hours today (for the first time after I signed up a month ago) and realized people here do not know what they are talking about. And most even do not make a single dollar a day but consistently try to sell knowledge they picked up from famous internet gurus.

    In the English-speaking world in general, the term peon is used colloquially to mean a person with little authority, often assigned unskilled or drudgerous tasks; an underling. In this sense, peon can be used in either a derogatory or self-effacing context. - just sayin'

    I personally havent found Fiverr to be much better than picking a random neighbor to accomplish an online task. Granted there are some that do a professional job, but most are hacks looking for a quick $5 (less fiverr fees). Look for the outsourcing that "Bids" on your request rather than you searching through a hundred different low level techs and writers.
